Does that scene look like anything but a person truly feeling deep regret for what he's done?

Look, I agree, V is shady as hell and in fact downright manipulative at times. But at that moment, he shares his real thoughts and real weaknesses, and only because there was someone who looked like the one person he'd ever tell those things to - his mother. He was very, very honest at that moment, you can even call it a confession.

I am just so tired of seeing people say otherwise. It's just so obvious.

He did reunite with his other half afterwards, but can you blame him? The guy doesn't want to die. And given his current condition, the only way for him to live on is to re-merge with his other half. In fact, it looks very likely to me that until that talk with Trish he wasn't planning on anything but just stopping Urizen whatever the cost, and it's because of Trish's words he decides to see it through instead.

Dante didn't state anything. Dante only speculates that it might've been so. He also wouldn't be aware of V having a change of heart in the middle of this all, he isn't a telepath.

Quote please? Because I know that transcript pretty much by heart and I don't understand what you mean.
